Nice review Jean-Luc.
Hasegawa seems to be the way to go for 1/48 fans of the P40

Hi Nigel!

For the E and K versions the answer is yes. For the N and M versions there is an alternative solution with Eduard's "Shark mouths over China" boxing. In it you have the original (and excellent) Mauve injected kit, resin detail parts, photoetched parts, a nice and big decal sheet and a PSP display base! Better, you have two sets of resin sidewalls and rear bulkhead for the cockpit and three (!?) different pre-painted PE instrument panels for various versions... Having an original Mauve kit in my stash I will rather buy Eduard's kit than Hasegawa's. The extra bits will be of good use!
